1972 Map of Big Owl Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Boise National Forest provides the backdrop for this 1970s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its network of mountain waterways and early land management infrastructure. Evidence of industrial activity remains visible through the Dredge Tailings located along Beaver Creek, a telltale sign of past mineral extraction in the Idaho backcountry. The Beaver Creek Forest Service Station serves as a central landmark for this area, which straddles the boundary between Boise and Elmore counties. The map traces the winding paths of the Crooked River and the Boise River Fork, alongside recreational sites like the Willow Creek Campground and Edna Creek Campground. Numerous drainage systems, including Big Owl Creek and Pikes Fork, are accessible only by the primitive Jeep Trails that crisscross the high elevations.
